Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to non-target plants and aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. 2

3 This pesticide is toxic to plants and must be used strictly in accordance with the drift and run-off precautions on this label in order to minimize off-site exposures. Under some conditions this product may have a potential to run-off to surface water or adjacent land. Where possible, use methods which reduce soil erosion, such as no till, limited till and contour plowing; these methods also reduce pesticide run-off. Use vegetation filter strips along rivers, creeks, streams, wetlands or on the downhill side of fields where run-off could occur to minimize water run-off. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. READ ENTIRE LABEL. USE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS, AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: coveralls, chemical resistant gloves made of waterproof material, shoes plus socks. NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standards for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forest, nurseries or greenhouses. Keep all unprotected persons out of operating areas, or vicinity where there may be drift. Do not enter or allow others to enter treated areas until sprays have dried. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT VARSITY is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to VARSITY and other Group 14 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 14 herbicides may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 14 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by VARSITY or other Group 14 herbicides. To delay herbicide resistance consider: Avoiding the consecutive use of VARSITY or other target site of action Group 14 herbicides that might have a similar target site of action, on the same weed species. Using tank mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target site of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern. Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy. Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors and/or manufacturer for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. TANK MIXES NOTICE: Tank mixing or use of this product with any other product which is not specifically and expressly authorized by the label shall be the exclusive risk of user, applicator and/or application advisor to the extent allowed by applicable law. Read and follow the entire label of each product to be used in the tank mix with this product. 3

9 USE INFORMATION VARSITY uses: VARSITY provides residual control of susceptible weeds in alfalfa, asparagus, bushberries, celery, cotton, cucurbit vegetables, dry bean, field corn, garlic, grape, hops, mint, nut trees (including pistachio), onion (dry bulb), non-bearing fruit trees, peanut, pome fruit, potato, soybean, stone fruit, strawberry, sugarcane and sweet potato. VARSITY provides additional burndown activity when used as part of a burndown program in alfalfa, asparagus, celery, cotton, cucurbit vegetables, dry bean, field corn, fruiting vegetables (including okra) row middles, grape, hops, nut trees (including pistachio), non-bearing fruit trees, peanut, soybean and sugarcane. VARSITY can be applied as part of a fall burndown program for control of susceptible winter annuals. VARSITY can be applied with a hooded or shielded sprayer, as well as part of a layby application, in cotton and sugarcane for postemergence weed control as well as residual control of susceptible weeds. VARSITY can be used on farms, orchards and vineyards for non-selective vegetation control to maintain bare ground non-crop areas that must be kept weed free. Read tank mix product label for rates and weeds controlled. Always read and follow label directions for all tank mix products before using. The most restrictive labeling of any tank mix product must be followed. VARSITY, when applied according to label use directions, will control the weeds claimed in crop specific use directions. This label makes no claims concerning control of other weed species. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Do not apply this product when weather conditions favor spray drift from treated areas. Do not apply during low-level inversion conditions, including fog. When applying by air, observe drift management restrictions and precautions listed under AERIAL APPLICATION. Do not apply to frozen or snow covered soil. Mechanical incorporation into the soil will reduce residual weed control. Only apply Post directed and layby applications of VARSITY to healthy growing crops. Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or other desirable vegetation. Do not apply within 300 yards of non-dormant pears. Do not apply to powdery soils or soils that are susceptible to wind displacement unless irrigation can be applied immediately after application. Spray equipment used to apply VARSITY must not be used to apply other materials to any crop foliage, unless the proper cleanout procedures are followed. See SPRAYER CLEANUP for more information. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE Preemergence Application (Conventional Tillage) Important: Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils and/or applications made under cool, wet conditions. Risk of crop injury can be minimized by using on well drained soils, planting at least 1.5 inches deep, using high quality seed and completely covering seeds with soil prior to preemergence applications. Treated soil that is splashed onto newly emerged crops may result in temporary crop injury. Moisture is necessary to activate VARSITY in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of VARSITY may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, VARSITY will control susceptible germinating weeds. VARSITY may not control weeds that germinate after application but before an activating rainfall/irrigation or weeds that germinate through cracks resulting from dry soil. When adequate moisture is not received after a VARSITY application, weed control may be improved by irrigation with at least 1/4 inch of water. If emerged weeds are controlled by cultivation, residual weed control will be reduced. Burndown Application For best results, apply VARSITY as part of a burndown program to actively growing weeds. Applying VARSITY under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide effectiveness. Do not apply VARSITY when weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, extremes in temperature, disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to herbicidal action. VARSITY is most effective when applied under warm sunny conditions. Reduced residual weed control may occur when burndown applications are made to fields where heavy crop and/or weed residue exist. Postemergence Application Apply VARSITY to healthy crops labeled for postemergence use. Do not apply VARSITY to crops that have been weakened by disease, drought, flooding, excessive fertilization, soil salts, previously applied pesticides, nematodes, insects or winter injury. 9

10 Rainfastness VARSITY is rainfast one hour after application. Applications made when rain is expected within one hour of application will reduce postemergence efficacy. Soil Characteristics Application of VARSITY to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher dosages than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content. Application to cloddy seedbeds can result in reduced weed control. HERBICIDE RATE Residual Weed Control (Including Preemergence Applications or Applications as Part of a Fall or Spring Burndown and Fallow Seedbed Program) Based upon soil characteristics (organic matter content and texture), the most difficult to control weed species being targeted, and the crop being grown, select the proper VARSITY dosage from the rate range tables contained in this label. CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE (Ground Equipment only. See Information for Aerial Equipment under AERIAL APPLICATION.) Preemergence Application (Conventional Tillage) To ensure uniform coverage, use 10 to 30 gals. of spray solution per acre for conventional tillage applications. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications for preemergence herbicide application. Burndown Application (Prior to Crop Emergence) To ensure thorough coverage in burndown applications, use 15 to 60 gals. spray solution per acre. Use 20 to 60 gals. per acre if dense vegetation or heavy crop residue is present. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications for postemergence herbicide application. Do not use flood jet nozzles. Postemergence Application (Emerged Crop) Check use directions for specific crops in which VARSITY can be applied postemergence. To ensure thorough coverage in burndown applications, use a minimum of 15 gallons spray solution per acre. Use a minimum of 20 gallons per acre if dense vegetation or heavy crop residue is present. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications for postemergence herbicide application. ADDITIVES Burndown Application (Prior to Crop Emergence) Postemergence control of weeds from VARSITY tank mixes will require the addition of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. When an adjuvant is to be used with VARSITY, INNVICTIS CROP CARE, LLC recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant. Either a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% oil or a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v, may be used when applying VARSITY as part of a burndown program. Some tank mix partners, such as Roundup Power Max, are formulated with sufficient adjuvants and do not require the addition of a crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil or non-ionic surfactant when tank mixed with VARSITY. The addition of a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil may increase the burndown activity on certain weeds such as cutleaf eveningprimrose and Carolina geranium. Verify mixing compatibility qualities with a jar test. A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2 to 2.5 Ibs./A or a 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts./a) may be added to the spray mixture along with either a crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil or non-ionic surfactant to enhance weed control. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replace the need for a crop oil concentrate, a methylated seed oil or a non-ionic surfactant. JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND VARSITY When using VARSITY and an adjuvant, such as in stale seed bed, layby, hooded/shielded or reduced tillage situations, perform a jar test before mixing commercial quantities of VARSITY, when using VARSITY for the first time, when using new adjuvants or when a new water source is being used. 1. Add 1 pt. of the water to a quart jar. Use water from the same source and temperature as which will be used in the spray tank mixing operation. 2. Add 1 g of VARSITY to the quart jar for every 3 oz. of VARSITY per acre being applied (4 g if 12 oz./a is the desired VARSITY rate), gently mix until product goes into suspension. 3. Add 60 ml (4 Tbsps. or 2 fl. oz.) of the crop oil or methylated seed oil to the quart jar or 1 ml of non-ionic surfactant if it is being used in place of oil, gently mix. 4. If nitrogen is being used, add 16 ml (1 Tbsp. or 0.5 oz.) of the 28 to 32% nitrogen source to the quart jar. If ammonium sulfate is being used, add 19 g AMS to the quart jar in place of the 28 to 32% nitrogen. 5. Place cap on jar, invert 10 times, let stand for 15 minutes, evaluate. 6. An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform and free of suspended particles. The appearance of any of the following conditions are unacceptable and the choice of adjuvant must be modified: a) Layer of oil or globules on the mixture s surface. b) Flocculation: fine particles in suspension or as a layer on the bottom of the jar. c) Clabbering: Thickening texture (coagulated) like gelatin. 10

11 SPRAYER PREPARATION Before applying VARSITY, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. The spray tank, as well as all hoses and booms, must be cleaned to ensure no residue from the previous spraying operation remains in the sprayer. Some pesticides, including but not limited to, the sulfonylurea and phenoxy herbicides, (i.e., Classic and 2,4-D respectively) are active at very small amounts and can cause crop injury when applied to susceptible crops. The spray equipment must be cleaned according to the manufacturer s directions for the last product used before the equipment is used to apply VARSITY. If two or more products were tank mixed prior to VARSITY application, the most restrictive cleanup procedure must be followed. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 of desired level with clean water. 2. If a drift retardant is to be used, add 10 Ibs of spray grade ammonium sulfate per 100 gals. of spray solution. 3. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, pre-slurry the required amount of VARSITY with water prior to addition to the spray tank. Use a minimum of 1 gal. of water per 10 oz. of VARSITY. 4. While agitating, slowly add the pre-slurried VARSITY to the spray tank. Adequate agitation will create a rippling or rolling action on the water surface. 5. If tank mixing VARSITY with other labeled herbicides, add water soluble bags first, followed by dry formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate spray operation. 6. Add any required adjuvants. 7. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Continue agitation until all spray solution has been applied. 8. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Apply VARSITY within 6 hours of mixing. SPRAYER CLEANUP Spray equipment, including mixing vessels and nurse tanks, must be cleaned each day following VARSITY application. After VARSITY is applied, the following steps must be used to clean the spray equipment: 1. Completely drain the spray tank, rinse the sprayer thoroughly, including the inside and outside of the tank and all in-line screens. 2. Fill the spray tank with clean water and flush all hoses, booms, screens and nozzles. 3. Top off tank, add 1 gal of 3% household ammonia (or equivalent) for every 100 gals of water, circulate through sprayer for 5 minutes, and then flush all hoses, booms, screens and nozzles for a minimum of 15 minutes. If diaphragms are being used on the spray boom, loosen diaphragms before flushing the spray system, allowing cleaning solution to spray through the open diaphragm. If spray lines have any end caps, they must be loosened before flushing the system, allowing cleaning solution to spray through the loosened caps. To enhance removal of VARSITY from the spray system, add a tank cleaner such as Valent Tank Cleaner from Valent U.S.A. Corporation, in place of ammonia and allow the cleaning solution to remain in the pressurized spray system (spray tank, hoses and boom) overnight before flushing the system for a minimum of 15 minutes. 4. Drain tank completely. 5. Add enough clean water to the spray tank to allow all hoses, booms, screens and nozzles to be flushed for 2 minutes. 6. Remove all nozzles and screens and rinse them in clean water. Spray equipment, including all tanks, hoses, booms, screens and nozzles, must be thoroughly cleaned before it is used to apply postemergence pesticides. Equipment with VARSITY residue remaining in the system may result in crop injury to the subsequently treated crop. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Application equipment must be clean and in good repair. Nozzles must be uniformly spaced on boom and frequently checked for accuracy. BROADCAST APPLICATION Apply VARSITY, and VARSITY tank mixes, with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers equipped with flat fan or flood nozzles (preemergence applications only) designed to deliver the desired spray pressure and spray volume. BAND APPLICATION When banding, use proportionately less water and VARSITY per acre. The rate of VARSITY required per acre, when applied as a banded application, can be calculated with the following formula: Amount Needed per Acre for Banded Application = Band width in inches Row Width in inches X Rate per Broadcast Acre 11

12 AERIAL APPLICATION Spray drift away from the site of application may cause damage to non-target vegetation. To minimize drift, apply the largest droplet size consistent with uniform coverage and satisfactory weed control. To obtain satisfactory application and avoid drift, the following directions must be observed: Do not apply during low-level inversion conditions (including fog), when winds are gusty or under other conditions that favor drift. Do not spray when wind velocity is less than 2 mph or more than 10 mph. Do not apply this product by air within 40 ft. of non-target plants including non-target crops. Do not apply this product by air within 100 ft. of emerged cotton crops. Do not apply this product by air within 40 ft. of streams, wetlands, marshes, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure: When used as part of a burndown weed control program, apply VARSITY in 7 to 10 gals. of water per acre. Application at less than 7 gals. per acre may provide inadequate control. When used for preemergence weed control, apply VARSITY in 5 to 10 gals. of water per acre. The higher gallonage applications generally afford more consistent weed control. Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer s specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Nozzle Selection and Orientation: Formation of very small drops may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray pressure. Use nozzles that produce flat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type nozzles, such as diaphragm type nozzles, to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 0 and 15 downward. Do not place nozzles on the outer 25% of the wings or rotors. Adjuvants and Drift Control Additives: Refer to tank mix partner s label for adjuvant use directions. Drift control additives may be used. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the additive label. CHEMIGATION Follow all label directions for crops regarding rates, timing of application, special instructions and precautions. Apply this product only through center pivot systems. End guns must be turned off due to uneven application. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of efficacy or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be properly calibrated (with water only) to ensure that the amount of VARSITY applied corresponds to the listed rate. Apply VARSITY in 1/2 to 3/4 inches of water during the first sprinkler set. Allow time for all lines to flush the herbicide through all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and free of remaining herbicide, a dye indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period. Once chemigation has begun, the run must be completed to ensure no product is left in the system. If you have any questions about calibration, you should contact your State Extension Service Specialist, equipment manufacturers or other experts. Special Instructions for Chemigation 1. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide labelprescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. 2. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of the responsible person must be present to shut the system down and make necessary adjustments. 3. The system must be free of leaks and clogged nozzles. 4. The pesticide must be supplied continuously for the duration of the aqueous application. An uneven application may cause injury to the crop or poor weed control. 5. Agitation must be maintained in the nurse tank. 6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. 7. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 8. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 9. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in the case where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 10. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 11. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with the pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 12. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 12

13 Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems 1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption, if such a system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 2. Chemigation systems connected to the public water system must contain a functional, reduced pressure zone (RPZ), backflow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. 3. All chemigation systems connected to the public water system must also follow restrictions listed in the preceding section titled Special Instructions for Chemigation. APPLICATION WITH DRY BULK FERTILIZERS Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with VARSITY. Application of dry bulk fertilizer with VARSITY provides weed control equal to, or slightly below, the same rate of VARSITY applied in liquid carriers, due to better coverage with application via spray equipment. Follow label directions for VARSITY regarding rates, special instructions, cautions and special precautions. Apply 400 to 700 Ibs. of the fertilizer/herbicide mixture per acre to obtain adequate soil coverage. Apply the mixture to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible crop injury and to obtain uniform weed control. Do not us ammonium nitrate and/or limestone as the sole source of fertilizer, as the VARSITY may not adhere to these materials. Compliance with all Federal and State regulations relating to blending pesticide mixtures with dry bulk fertilizer, registrations, labeling and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company offering the fertilizer and VARSITY mixture for sale. VARSITY must be premixed with water to form a slurry prior to impregnation on dry bulk fertilizer. Use a minimum of 1 pt. of water for each 2 oz. of VARSITY, and use a minimum of 6 pts. of the VARSITY slurry to impregnate 2000 Ibs. of the fertilizer for uniform coverage of the fertilizer. Closed drum, belt, ribbon or other commonly used dry bulk blenders may be used. The amount of VARSITY required can be calculated with the following formula: Ounces of VARSITY per ton of fertilizer = ounces of VARSITY per acre X 2000 pounds of fertilizer per acre Thoroughly clean dry fertilizer blending equipment after VARSITY has been placed in the system to avoid injury to sensitive crops that may be treated with fertilizers blended after the equipment has been used for VARSITY. Rinse the sides of the blender and the herbicide tank with water. Then impregnate the rinsate onto a load of dry fertilizer intended for an approved crop. Use a maximum rate of 1 gal. of rinsate per ton of fertilizer. Follow with 1 to 2 loads of unimpregnated fertilizer in the blender before switching herbicides. 13

VARSITY can be mixed with 2,4-D and/or glyphosate formulations labeled for burndown programs (preplant to crop) in accordance with the most restrictive label limitations and precautions. Labeled application rates cannot be exceeded. Do not mix VARSITY with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Observe all rotational intervals prior to planting as listed in the ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS table. FALL BURNDOWN PROGRAMS VARSITY can be used at 2 to 4 oz/a with labeled burndown herbicides to enhance the speed of burndown, increase weed spectrum and provide residual weed control of the weeds listed in Table 3 until the following spring. Rotational intervals must be followed for crop to be planted in the spring following the fall VARSITY application. Refer to most restrictive label for minimum interval between application and planting. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FALLOW LAND For Use in the States of Arizona, California and Hawaii Only VARSITY may be used as a preemergence fallow treatment. Weeds controlled by residual activity are listed in Table 1. VARSITY, at 2 to 4 oz/a, can be used in the fall to provide residual weed control in fallow fields (refer to Rotational Restrictions table for rates and rotational intervals prior to planting). If weeds have emerged at the time of application, use VARSITY in combination with a labeled fallow herbicide. Application must be made no earlier than October 15 in Region 2 or November 15 in Region 1 or when soil temperature falls below 50 F at a 2 inch depth to maintain residual weed control into the spring April 1 in Region 1 and May 1 in Region 2. Abnormally warm or wet winters will reduce the length of weed control observed in the spring. VARSITY at 1 to 4 oz/a can be used in spring in combination with labeled burndown herbicides to control emerged weeds and provide residual weed control. DIRECTIONS FOR FALLOWBED USE ON TRANSPLANTED MELON, PEPPER AND TOMATO BEDS. For Use in Arizona, California and Hawaii Only Do not apply more than 4 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 4 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Many weather related factors, including high wind or heavy rains or cool conditions at or near crop transplanting, may result in crop injury in fields treated with VARSITY. On occasion this has resulted in a delay in maturity. TIMING TO CROP VARSITY FALLOWBED USE PRIOR TO TRANSPLANTING VARSITY RATES ADJUVANT GPA TRANSPLANTING INTERVAL 4oz / A Required by burndown tank mix partner Ground - 20 to 40 2 Months Application Method: Apply with a burndown herbicide labeled for the control of emerged weeds. VARSITY, when used alone, will not provide satisfactory control of emerged weeds. 21

22 USE RESTRICTIONS FOR VARSITY FOR PREEMERGENCE FALLOWBED WEED CONTROL PRIOR TO TRANSPLANTING 1. Always read and follow all label directions when using any pesticide alone or in tank mix combinations. 2. The top 4 inches of the bed, from a horizonal and vertical perspective, where the crop will be transplanted, must be removed prior to transplanting. 3. Use only healthy transplants. Do not use on direct seeded crops. 4 4 Beds are formed and VARSITY is applied with a burndown herbicide. A minimum of 2 months after VARSITY application, the tops of the beds are removed and the soil from the tops of the beds is placed in the area between the beds. Crops are transplanted into beds. 4. On flat beds (tomato only), the soil must be incorporated to a depth of at least 4 inches, twice, prior to transplanting. Failure to incorporate may result in stand reduction and/or crop injury. 5. This use pattern makes no claim for in-season weed control after the beds have been disturbed. 6. Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN ESTABLISHED ALFALFA Do not apply more than 4 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 8 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not make a sequential VARSITY application within 60 days of the first VARSITY application. Do not apply to alfalfa with greater than 6 inches of growth. Application will result in burning of treated leaves and stems. Do not apply within 25 days of harvest or grazing. Do not use on alfalfa grown for seed unless approved by a State authority to support a Special Local Need (SLN) under FIFRA section 24(c). Only apply with an adjuvant or tank mix with products formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate EC when targeting control of emerged weeds. Crop burn and/or stunting should be expected and accepted if VARSITY is used with an adjuvant, a tank mix partner formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) or a tank mix partner formulated with an adjuvant. Application with paraquat can be used to burndown winter annuals prior to winter dormant period. Do not use on intended mixed alfalfa-grass stands. TIMING TO ALFALFA VARSITY may be applied to established alfalfa with a maximum amount of growth of 6 inches or less for the preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 7, Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY. Established alfalfa is defined as alfalfa planted in the fall or spring which has gone through a first cutting/ mowing. Application to alfalfa with greater than 6 inches of growth may result in unacceptable crop injury. For control of winter annual weeds: the best timing for preemergence control is in the fall immediately after the last cutting or sheeping-off has occurred. For control of summer annual weeds: the best timing for preemergence control is in the spring prior to alfalfa growth and before 6 inches of growth. TIMING TO WEEDS Preemergence - Preemergence To Weeds Apply VARSITY before alfalfa growth exceeds 6 inches in height for the preemergence control of weeds listed in Table 7, Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY. Make applications as soon as possible after cutting and removing alfalfa to minimize injury to alfalfa growth. Postemergence Dodder Suppression Apply VARSITY at 4 oz per acre with an adjuvant for postemergence suppression of dodder. Tank mixes with Pursuit Herbicide or Raptor Herbicide will increase control. 22

23 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN ARTICHOKE Do not apply more than 4 oz/a of VARSITY per acre during a single application on annual or perennial artichoke varieties after new planting. Do not apply more than 6 oz/a of VARSITY per acre during a single application on perennial artichoke varieties after cutback. Do not apply more than 6 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Application to artichoke foliage may result in unacceptable crop injury. TIMING TO ARTICHOKE Annual Varieties: VARSITY may be applied to artichoke beds prior to transplanting. Application of VARSITY must be made to the beds no later than 2 days prior to transplanting. Irrigation or rainfall after transplanting is necessary to activate the VARSITY. Do not irrigate the VARSITY before transplanting. Heavy irrigation or rainfall may result in crop injury. The injury is usually transitory and the plants will quickly grow out of the crop damage. Minimize soil disturbance during transplanting, as preemergence weed control will decrease as soil disturbance increases. Perennial Varieties: VARSITY may be applied to artichokes after planting of crown pieces or cut back of mature plants. Applications of VARSITY must be made within 2 days after planting or cut back and prior to artichoke emergence. Application after the artichokes have begun to crack, or are emerged, will result in crop injury. Do not apply when artichokes have begun to emerge (cracking). TIMING TO WEEDS Pre-plant (annual)/preemergence (perennial) to Artichokes - Preemergence to Weeds Apply VARSITY pre-plant to annual artichokes for preemergence control of the weeds. For perennial artichokes apply before cracking for preemergence control of the weeds. Apply prior to weed emergence. A post-emergence herbicide may be necessary to control emerged weeds. VARSITY may be applied to annual or perennial artichokes as specified above for preemergence control of weeds listed in Table 7, Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN ESTABLISHED ASPARAGUS Do not apply more than 6 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 6 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Apply only to dormant asparagus no less than 14 days before spears emerge. Application to non-dormant asparagus may result in unacceptable crop injury. Do not work soil within 60 days prior to application in the spring. Soil can be worked after spear harvest in preparation for VARSITY application prior to fern emergence. Treated soil that is splashed onto the ferns may result in spotting. TIMING TO ASPARAGUS - Dormant VARSITY may be applied to dormant asparagus for preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 10, Weeds Controlled by Preemergence Application of VARSITY. Application to non-dormant asparagus will result in unacceptable crop injury. Applications must be made no less than two weeks prior to spear emergence and must be sprinkler or rainfall incorporated with 0.5 to 0.75 inches of water or some scoring may result. TIMING TO ASPARAGUS - Post Harvest Apply VARSITY after the final harvest of the season, but prior to fern emergence, for preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 10, Weeds Controlled by Preemergence Application of VARSITY. Application after fern emergence will result in unacceptable crop injury. Apply no less than two weeks prior to fern emergence and must be sprinkler or rainfall incorporated with 0.5 to 0.75 inches of water. Add a burndown tank mix partner for the control of emerged weeds labeled for asparagus in accordance with the most restrictive labeled limitations and precautions. TIMING TO WEEDS Burndown - Dormant Asparagus, Postemergence to Weeds VARSITY may be used for residual weed control, as well as to assist in postemergence burndown of many annual and perennial weeds where asparagus is dormant. For control of emerged weeds, tank mix VARSITY with paraquat. Refer to paraquat label for specified rate and application parameters. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 15 gals. of spray solution per acre. VARSITY tank mixes applied to assist in the control of emerged weeds must be applied with a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v. A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2 to 2.5 Ibs/A or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts/a) may be added to increase herbicidal activity. Burndown - After Last Harvest of Season, Postemergence to Weeds Use VARSITY for residual weed control and to assist in postemergence burndown for many annual and perennial weeds where asparagus harvest has been completed for the year. For control of emerged weeds, use a labeled tank mix partner with activity on the emerged weeds. Preemergence - Dormant Asparagus or After Last Harvest of Season, Preemergence to Weeds Apply VARSITY to dormant asparagus for the preemergence control of weeds listed in Table 10, Weeds Controlled by Preemergence Application of VARSITY. 23

24 DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON CABBAGE AND CHINESE CABBAGE (TIGHT HEADED VARIETIES ONLY) ROW MIDDLES DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN ROW MIDDLES VARSITY can only be applied in row middles between raised plastic mulched beds that are at least 4 inches higher than the treated row middle and the mulched bed must have a minimum of a 24-inch bed width. Spray must remain between raised beds and contact no more than the bottom 1 inch of the side of the raised bed. Do not apply after crops are transplanted. Do not apply more than 4 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 8 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. All applications must be made with shielded or hooded equipment. Injury can occur if soil particles treated with VARSITY contact the crop. A rainfall after application but prior to transplanting is required. RATE Up to 4 oz/acre per application TIMING TO CROP VARSITY may be applied at 4 oz per acre as a shielded or hooded application to row middles after plastic is laid up to transplanting. Spray must be directed to the row middle and contact no more than the bottom 1 inch of the side of the raised bed. If the top of the mulch beds (where plants are to be transplanted) is contacted, severe injury can occur due to foliage contact with treated plastic. WEED CONTROL AND TANK MIXING VARSITY provides preemergence residual control of the weeds listed in Table 7, Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY, as well as to assist in the postemergence control of emerged weeds. A registered preemergence grass herbicide may be added for control of additional grassy weeds. For control of emerged weeds, tank mix VARSITY with paraquat, Aim, glyphosate, or other registered burndown herbicide. Refer to tank mix partner label for specified rates. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON CACTUS (PRICKLY PEAR) Do not apply more than 12 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 12 oz of VARSITY per acre during a 12 month period. Use a maximum VARSITY rate of 6 oz/a per application on any soil that has a sand plus gravel content over 80% if plants are less than 3 years of age. (Two applications of 6 oz/a in a 12 month period can still be made as long as there have been 60 days between applications). Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or other desirable vegetation. Raise mower height during all mowing to reduce dust. Dust created by mowing can drift onto desirable vegetation resulting in injury. Do not mow treated areas. Dust created by mowing may drift onto desirable vegetation resulting in injury. Follow the most restrictive label limitations and precautions of the tank mix product(s) being used. Avoid direct or indirect spray contact to foliage. Do not apply within 60 days prior to harvest. Do not apply to plants established less than one year. Apply VARSITY as a uniform broadcast application to the plantation floor or as a uniform band directed at the base of the cactus. Apply VARSITY in the fall to maximize the potential for rainfall to activate and set the herbicide. Do not apply over the top of crop or allow spray to come in contact with crop as a result of application or drift. Preemergence Application Apply 6 to 12 oz (0.188 to 0.38 Ib ai/a) of VARSITY per broadcast acre as a preemergence application. VARSITY applications must be made prior to weed emergence for control of weeds listed in Table 10, Weeds Controlled by Preemergence Application of VARSITY. Make preemergence (to weed emergence) applications of VARSITY to a weed-free soil surface. Preemergence applications of VARSITY must be completed prior to weed emergence. Moisture is necessary to activate VARSITY on soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following application of VARSITY may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, VARSITY will control susceptible germinating weeds. 24

25 Postemergence Application Apply 6 to 12 oz (0.188 to 0.38 Ib ai/a) of VARSITY per broadcast acre plus an adjuvant (0.25% v/v nonionic surfactant or 1 qt/a crop oil concentrate). The addition of an adjuvant enhances VARSITY activity on emerged weeds. Thorough spray coverage is necessary to maximize the postemergence activity of VARSITY. Refer to Table 1, Broadleaf Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY for weeds controlled by the residual activity of VARSITY. Tank mix VARSITY with a labeled burndown herbicide for control of the emerged weeds. Residual weed control will be reduced if vegetation prevents the VARSITY from reaching the soil surface. If vegetation is heavy, use a burndown herbicide with VARSITY and make a sequential VARSITY application prior to the emergence of new weeds. Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure To ensure thorough coverage in burndown applications, use a minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution per acre. Use higher gallonage if dense vegetation or heavy crop residue is present. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications. Banded Application Rates listed in Table 13, Weeds Controlled by Postemergence Activity of VARSITY Tank Mixes, refer to a broadcast application covering the entire acre. Refer to the Band Application table in Use Information Section to calculate amount needed per acre when making a banded application. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN CELERY For Use in the States of California, Michigan and Wisconsin Only Do not apply more than 3 oz of VARSITY per acre during a pre-transplant application. In the state of California, use as pre-transplant application only. Do not apply more than 3 oz of VARSITY per acre during a post-transplant application. Do not apply more than 3 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not use with an adjuvant. Post transplant applications must be made between 3 to 7 days following transplanting. Do not apply as part of a tank mix. TIMING TO CELERY Apply VARSITY at 3 oz/a prior to transplanting, or between 3 and 7 days following transplanting, for preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 1, Broadleaf Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY. TIMING TO WEEDS Use VARSITY prior to weed emergence for residual control. Read tank mix product label for rates and weeds controlled. Always read and follow label directions for all tank mix products before using. The most restrictive labeling of any tank mix product must be followed. VARSITY, when applied according to label use directions, will control the weeds listed in Table 1, Broadleaf Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY. This label makes no claims concerning control of other weed species. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON CHICKPEA (GARBANZO BEAN) For Use Only in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon and Washington Do not apply more than 2.0 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 2.0 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Many weather related factors, including high wind, splashing or heavy rains or cool conditions at or near crop emergence, may result in garbanzo bean injury in fields treated with VARSITY. On occasion this has resulted in a delay in maturity. TIMING TO CHICKPEA (GARBANZO BEAN) VARSITY may be applied to garbanzo beans within 2 days after planting for the preemergence suppression of the weeds listed in Table A, Broadleaf Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY. Tank mix VARSITY with other labeled herbicides for broad spectrum weed control. 25

26 TIMING TO WEEDS VARSITY may be applied to garbanzo beans prior to planting or preemergence (after planting). Preemergence application of VARSITY must be made within 2 days after planting and prior to garbanzo bean emergence. Application after the garbanzo beans have begun to crack, or are emerged, will result in severe crop injury. Application must not be made when garbanzo beans have begun to crack. Preplant incorporation (PPI) applications may result in reduced weed control. ADDITIONAL RESIDUAL GRASS CONTROL VARSITY can be tank mixed with pendimethalin for additional grass control. Table A.

28 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN COTTON For Use in the States of Arizona, California and Hawaii Only Do not apply more than 2 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 4 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not make a sequential VARSITY application within 30 days of the first VARSITY application. Do not apply within 60 days of harvest. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE Hooded, Shielded and Layby Application For best results, apply VARSITY to actively growing weeds within the growth stages indicated in this label. Applying VARSITY under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide effectiveness. Do not apply VARSITY when the crop or weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, extremes in temperature, disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to herbicidal action. VARSITY is most effective when applied under sunny conditions at temperatures above 65 F. VARSITY is rainfast one hour after application. Do not apply if rain is expected within one hour of application or postemergence efficacy may be reduced. Rainfall within one hour of application will not adversely affect residual activity. HERBICIDE RATE Hooded, Shielded and Layby Application For postemergence weed control, apply VARSITY through a hooded or shielded sprayer or at layby, at 2 oz/a, in combinations with MSMA or at 1 to 2 oz./a in combination with glyphosate, to assist in the control of weeds listed in Table 4. Residual weed control can also be obtained through hooded, shielded and layby application of VARSITY. Weeds that are controlled through residual activity of VARSITY are listed in Table 1. Weeds that are suppressed by residual activity of VARSITY are listed in Table 2. Table 4.

Repeated applications will be needed to control regrowth. CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE Hooded, Shielded and Layby Application To ensure thorough coverage in hooded, shielded and layby applications, use 15 to 30 gals. spray solution per treated acre. Use 20 to 30 gals. per treated acre under heavy weed pressure. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications for application method being used. Do not use Flood Jet nozzles, as they tend to increase the chance of crop injury. ADDITIVES Hooded, Shielded and Layby Application Weed control from hooded, shielded or layby application of VARSITY in cotton requires the addition of an agronomically approved non-ionic surfactant to the spray mixture. Non-ionic surfactant must contain at least 80% active ingredient. Verify mixing compatibility qualities by a jar test. The use of crop oil concentrates, methylated seed oils, organo-silicant surfactants or products containing these ingredients, may result in severe crop injury and must not be used. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Apply VARSITY tank mixes, with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers equipped with nozzles designed to deliver the desired spray pressure and spray volume. Ensure that application equipment is clean and in good repair. Nozzles must meet manufacturer s specifications for spray pattern and placement on spray boom and must be checked frequently for accuracy. 29

30 TIMING TO COTTON Hooded and Shielded Application VARSITY tank mixes may be applied with a hooded or shielded sprayer after cotton has reached a minimum of 6 inches in height. All nozzles must be under the hood or behind the shield to ensure no spray solution comes in contact with the cotton. Care must be taken to ensure the spray solution or drift does not come in contact with the cotton or severe crop injury can occur. Layby Application Layby application of VARSITY tank mixes may be made once cotton has reached a minimum of 16 inches in height. Cotton that is smaller than 16 inches in height may be injured by VARSITY applications. VARSITY application must be directed to the lower 2 inches of the cotton stem to avoid crop injury. TIMING TO WEEDS VARSITY tank mix applications must be made to weeds within the height range given in Table 4. TANK MIXES VARSITY must be tank mixed with one of the herbicides listed in Table 5 for postemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 4. Table 5.

Arizona, California and Hawaii only: For fallowbed application on transplanted melon beds follow directions for use below. Spray must be directed to the row middle, away from the crop bed and with minimal contact with plastic, including the sides of the bed. If top of mulch beds (where plants are to be transplanted) is contacted, severe injury can occur due to foliage contact with treated plastic. In this scenario, a rainfall event of 1/2 inch (natural or irrigation) must occur prior to transplanting to reduce VARSITY residues. Drift of treated soil particles onto plants may cause contact injury. Irrigate treated field after application and prior to transplanting with minimum of 1/4 inch of water if rainfall does not occur between application and transplanting. All applications must be made with hooded or shielded equipment. TIMING TO CUCURBIT VEGETABLES Apply VARSITY at 4 oz. per acre as a hooded or shielded application to row middles up to 14 days prior to transplanting or seeding for preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 7, Weeds Controlled by Residual Activity of VARSITY, as well as to assist in the postemergence control of emerged weeds. A second application of VARSITY at 4 oz per acre may be applied up to 21 days after transplanting or emergence if needed. Do not apply during or after bloom. TIMING TO WEEDS VARSITY may be used for residual weed control, as well as to assist in postemergence burndown of many annual and perennial weeds in row middles. A registered preemergence grass herbicide may be added for control of additional grassy weeds. For assisting in the control of emerged weeds, tank mix VARSITY with paraquat, Aim or other registered burndown herbicide. Do not tank mix with glyphosate after transplanting. Refer to tank mix partner s label for specified rate and application parameters. 30

Do not apply more than 8 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not make a sequential VARSITY application within 60 days of the first VARSITY application. Apply only to dormant mint. Application to non-dormant mint may result in unacceptable crop injury. Do not apply within 80 days of harvest. Do not apply to row or baby mint, use only on established meadow mint. Do not apply to mint that has been weakened by diseases, insects (example mint root borer), nematodes, drought, soil salts, high soil ph, previous pesticides, winter injury or double cutting, as severe injury may occur. Apply only to healthy vigorous mint with undamaged rhizomes. Do not apply before November 25 or after March 1. Do not apply a Fall application if roots and rhizomes are weak, thin or damaged. Do not apply to stands established longer than 3 years. Do not apply VARSITY on mint in Southern Union County (south of Ladd Canyon) or Baker County in Oregon. Many weather related factors, including high wind, splashing or heavy rains or cool conditions at or near mint emergence, may result in mint injury in fields treated with VARSITY. Tank mix with labeled rates of paraquat specified to control emerged weeds and increase crop safety. TIMING TO MINT As a spray, VARSITY may be applied only to established, dormant mint for preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 7 as well as to assist in the postemergence control of emerged weeds. Application to non-dormant mint or to baby (row) mint (time from planting of mint roots through the first cutting), may result in unacceptable crop injury. As a bulk fertilizer application, VARSITY may be applied at least 80 days prior to harvest. Leaves must be dry at the time of applications or severe injury may occur. TIMING TO WEEDS Burndown - Dormant Mint, Postemergence To Weeds VARSITY may be used for residual weed control, as well as to assist in postemergence burndown of many annual and perennial weeds where established mint is dormant. For control of emerged weeds, tank mix VARSITY with paraquat. Refer to paraquat label for specified rate and application parameters. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 15 gals. of spray solution per acre. VARSITY tank mixes applied to assist in the control of emerged weeds must be applied with a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v. A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2 to 2.5 Ibs./A or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts./a) may be added to increase herbicidal activity. Preemergence - Dormant Mint, Preemergence To Weeds Apply VARSITY to dormant mint for the preemergence control of weeds listed in Table 7. Fall applications of VARSITY, followed by a sequential application in the Spring, have resulted in better Summer annual weed control than a single Fall or single Spring application. Fall application is most effective for Fall germinating weeds such as groundsel. Fields plowed or harrowed after a VARSITY application will result in less effective preemergence activity. In furrow irrigated fields, corrugating that is done after a VARSITY application will expose untreated soil and break the herbicide barrier resulting in poor weed control. 35

39 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN PEANUT Do not apply more than 3 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not apply more than 2 oz/a in the states of North Carolina, Oklahoma, or Virginia where climatic conditions may result in unacceptable injury to peanuts unless supplemental labeling provided by INNVICTIS CROP CARE, LLC is followed. Do not irrigate when peanuts are cracking. Do not graze treated fields or feed treated hay to livestock Many weather related factors, including high wind, splashing or heavy rains or cool conditions at or near peanut emergence, may result in peanut injury in fields treated with VARSITY. On occasion this has resulted in a delay in maturity or even a slight decrease in yield. WIND MANAGEMENT In areas where shallow cultivation is used between rows to reduce wind-borne sand damage to peanuts, weed control from VARSITY may be reduced. TIMING TO PEANUTS VARSITY may be applied to peanuts prior to planting or preemergence (after planting). Preemergence applications of VARSITY must be made within 2 days after planting and prior to peanut emergence. Application after the peanuts have begun to crack, or are emerged, will result in severe crop injury. Application must not be made when peanuts have begun to crack. Select VARSITY rate from Table 1 according to anticipated weed spectrum. TIMING TO WEEDS Burndown - Preemergence to Peanuts, Postemergence to Weeds VARSITY, applied as part of a burndown program, may be used for residual weed control, as well as to assist in postemergence burndown of many annual and perennial weeds where peanuts will be planted directly into a stale seedbed, cover crop or in previous crop residues. Apply VARSITY before planting, during planting or after planting, but before the crop emerges. For control of emerged weeds, tank mix VARSITY with glyphosate. Refer to glyphosate label for specified rate and application pressure. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 15 gals. of spray solution per acre. VARSITY tank mixes applied to assist in the control of emerged weeds must be applied with an adjuvant, such as a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v or a crop oil concentrate or a methylated seed oil at 1 to 2 pt./a. A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2 to 2.5 Ibs./A or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts./a) may be added to increase herbicidal activity. Preemergence (conventional tillage) applications of VARSITY must be applied prior to weed emergence. ADDITIONAL RESIDUAL GRASS CONTROL: SEQUENTIAL VARSITY may be applied sequentially following a preplant incorporated application of trifluralin (states of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas only), SONALAN, DUAL (metolachlor), pendimethalin or FRONTIER. ADDITIONAL RESIDUAL GRASS CONTROL: TANK MIXED VARSITY can be tank mixed with alachlor, metolachlor or FRONTIER for additional grass and broadleaf weed control. VARSITY can also be tank mixed with pendimethalin or SONALAN in states where they are labeled, provided overhead irrigation guidelines on the pendimethalin and/or SONALAN labels are followed. PREEMERGENCE APPLICATION IN PEANUTS IN THE STATES OF NORTH CAROLINA, OKLAHOMA, AND VIRGINIA ONLY VARSITY, at 2 oz. per acre, can be applied within 2 days of planting to control common ragweed, tropic croton and entireleaf, ivyleaf and tall/scarlet morningglories. Cool temperatures near emergence, 2 consecutive nighttime lows in the 50 s F, in combination with heavy rainfall may result in severe crop injury. VARSITY, at 3 oz./a, must only be used in these states when other alternatives are not available for adequate control of the weeds listed above and the user acknowledges the risks associated with this use rate under the adverse environmental conditions listed above. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN POTATO Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Washington DC and Wyoming only. Do not apply more than 1.5 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 1.5 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not apply to Rill (Furrow) irrigated potatoes 39

40 Many weather related factors, including high wind, splashing or heavy rains or cool conditions at or near potato emergence, may result in potato injury in fields treated with VARSITY. On occasion this has resulted in a delay in maturity. TIMING TO POTATOES VARSITY may be applied to potatoes after hilling for the preemergence suppression of the weeds listed in Table 8. Apply VARSITY with other labeled herbicides for broad spectrum weed control. A minimum of 2 inches of settled soil must cover the vegetative portion of the potato plant at the time of VARSITY application. Application to potatoes with less than 2 inches of soil covering the vegetative portion of the potato may result in crop injury. In areas with historically higher amounts of rainfall during the time of preemergence herbicide applications, such as the Red River Valley, Minnesota and North Dakota, the requirement for 2 inches of settled soil is critical to avoid crop injury. Mechanical incorporation of VARSITY will result in decreased weed control and must be avoided. In areas with sprinkler irrigation, incorporate VARSITY with 0.5 to 0.75 inches of irrigation, after application and before any sprouts are within 2 inches of the settled soil surface if a rainfall event has not yet occurred. TIMING TO WEEDS Preemergence - Soil Covered Potatoes, Preemergence To Weeds Apply VARSITY to soil covered potatoes for the preemergence suppression of the weeds listed in Table 8. Harrowing, cultivation or corrigating after VARSITY application will reduce weed control. Read tank mix product label for rates and weeds controlled. Always read and follow label directions for all tank mix products before using. The most restrictive labeling of any tank mix product must be followed. Table 8.

Do not tank mix VARSITY with acetochlor (Warrant ), alachlor (Micro-Tech ), flufenacet (Axiom, Domain ), metolachlor (Dual Magnum, Dual ll Magnum, Boundary ) or dimethenamid (Frontier or Outlook ) within 14 days of planting soybeans, unless soybeans are planted under no-till or minimum tillage conditions on wheat stubble or no-till field corn stubble. Do not irrigate when soybeans are cracking. Do not graze treated fields or feed treated hay to livestock TIMING TO SOYBEANS VARSITY may be applied to soybeans prior to planting or preemergence (after planting). Preemergence application of VARSITY must be made within 3 days after planting and prior to soybean emergence. Application after the soybeans have begun to crack, or are emerged, will result in severe crop injury. Do not apply when soybeans have begun to crack. Select VARSITY rate from Table 1 according to anticipated weed spectrum. 40

41 TIMING TO WEEDS Burndown - Preemergence to Soybeans, Postemergence to Weeds VARSITY, applied as part of a burndown program, may be used for residual weed control, as well as to assist in postemergence burndown of many annual and perennial weeds where soybeans will be planted directly into a stale seedbed, cover crop or in previous crop residues. For control of emerged weeds, choose the most appropriate tank mix partner from Table 9. Apply VARSITY with ground equipment before planting, during planting or within 3 days after planting, but before the crop emerges. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 15 gals. of spray solution per acre. Refer to tank mix partner s label for specified application pressure. All VARSITY tank mixes applied to assist in the control of emerged weeds must be applied with crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil at 1 to 2 pt./a or a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v. INCREASING SPEED OF GLYPHOSATE BURNDOWN ACTIVITY VARSITY, at rates as low as 1 oz./a, may be tank mixed with glyphosate (ROUNDUP ) to increase the speed of burndown activity compared to glyphosate applied alone. Residual weed control will not be provided at rates lower than 2 oz./a; however, suppression of the weeds in Table 2, may occur at VARSITY rates as low as 1 oz./a. TANK MIXES VARSITY may be tank mixed with the herbicides listed in Table 9 for increased burndown activity, additional residual broadleaf and/or additional grass control. Refer to tank mix partner s label for adjuvant specifications. Table 9.

Sugarcane must be at least 3 ft. tall. Contact with the sugarcane foliage by either the spray mixture or the treated weed foliage will result in sugarcane injury. 6 Refer to metribuzin label for restrictions based on soil type. ADDITIONAL PREEMERGENCE BROADLEAF CONTROL VARSITY can be tank mixed with atrazine or diuron for additional preemergence broadleaf control. ADDITIONAL PREEMERGENCE GRASS CONTROL VARSITY can be tank mixed with PROWL (or other pendimethalin products) for additional preemergence grass control provided sugarcane has not emerged. 47

48 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SUNFLOWER AND SAFFLOWER HARVEST AID Do not apply more than 3 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application Do not apply more than 3 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season Do not harvest within 5 days of application Desiccation from VARSITY requires the addition of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. Use a methylated seed oil which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% oil at 1 qt/a. A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2 to 2.5 Ibs/A or a 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts/a) may be added to the spray mixture along with methylated seed oil to enhance desiccation. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replace the need for methylated seed oil. Tank mixing VARSITY with glyphosate or paraquat will increase control of emerged weeds and aid in harvest for sunflowers. Tank mixing VARSITY with glyphosate will increase control of emerged weeds and aid in harvest for safflower. TIMING TO SUNFLOWER AND SAFFLOWER Apply VARSITY at 1 5 to 2 oz/a when crop is mature (when seed is 35% moisture or less). For many varieties this is when the backs of the heads are turning yellow and the bracts are turning brown Sunflower and safflower can be harvested 5 days after application. To ensure thorough coverage use 1.5 to 30 gallons of spray solution per acre and select nozzle type using Manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications for postemergence application. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SWEET POTATO For Use in the States of Arizona, California and Hawaii Only Do not apply more than 3 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season. Do not apply postemergence to sweet potatoes. Do not use greenhouse grown transplants. Do not use transplants harvested more that 2 days prior to transplanting. Do not use on any sweet potato variety other than BEAUREGARD, unless user has tested VARSITY on other variety and has found crop tolerance to be acceptable. Do not apply as a part of any tank mix, except with labeled rates of COMMAND, if tank mix is applied prior to transplanting. TIMING TO SWEET POTATOES VARSITY must be applied prior to transplanting sweet potatoes. TIMING TO WEEDS Preemergence To Weeds Apply VARSITY to soil prior to transplanting sweet potato slips for the preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 1. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN WHEAT For use in the states of DE ID KY MD MN MT NC ND NJ OR SC SD TN VA and WA Only Do not apply more than 2 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single application Do not apply more than 2 oz of VARSITY per acre during a single growing season PRE PLANT APPLICATIONS, PRE EMERGENCE WEED CONTROL For pre plant weed control use only on no till or minimum tillage fields where the previous year s crop residue has not been incorporated into the soil Plant wheat no sooner than 7 days after VARSITY application in the states of DE, KY, MD, NC, NJ, SC, TN or VA Plant wheat no sooner than 14 days after VARSITY application in the states of ID, MN, MT, NC, ND, OR, SD or WA Do not use on Durum wheat Do not irrigate between emergence and spike Wheat must be planted a minimum of 1 deep Do not graze until wheat has reached 5 inches in height 48

49 Burndown Use Directions VARSITY applied as part of a burndown program at 2 oz/a may be used for residual weed control as well as to assist in postemergence burndown of many weeds where wheat will be planted directly into the residue of the previous crop. See Directions for Use in Fall Burndown Programs in Fields to be Planted to Barley, Field Pea, Flax, Lentil, Safflower, Sunflower and Wheat for rates and timing of applications. For control of emerged weeds. VARSITY must be applied with an appropriate burndown tank mix partner. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution per acre. Refer to tank mix partners label for specified application pressure and adjuvant systems. POST PLANT, PRE EMERGENCE WEED CONTROL For post plant pre emergence weed control use only on no till or minimum tillage fields where the previous crop residue has not been incorporated into the soil. Apply VARSITY up to 2 days after planting Do not use on Durum wheat Do not irrigate between emergence and spike Wheat must be planted a minimum of 1 deep Do not graze until wheat has reached 5 inches in height Use Directions VARSITY applied at 2 oz/a may be used for residual weed control where wheat has been planted directly into the residue of the previous year. Application must be made no later than 2 days after planting. HARVEST AID Do not harvest within 10 days of application Use Directions VARSITY applied at 2 oz/a for desiccation requires the addition of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. Use a methylated seed oil which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% oil at 1 qt/a. A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2 to 2.5 Ibs/A or a 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts/a) may be added to the spray mixture along with methylated seed oil to enhance desiccation. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replace the need for methylated seed oil. Tank mixing VARSITY with glyphosate will increase control of emerged weeds and aid in harvest. To ensure thorough coverage use a minimum of 10 gallons spray solution per acre by ground application and a minimum of 5 gallons per acre by aerial application. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications for postemergence application. TIMING TO WHEAT Apply VARSITY at 1.5 to 2 oz/a after wheat reaches the hard dough stage and gram has no more than 30% moisture. Wheat can be harvested 10 days after application. INNVICTIS CROP CARE, LLC recommends tank mixing with glyphosate. DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN BUSHBERRIES, GRAPE, NUT TREES (INCLUDING PISTACHIO), OLIVE, POME FRUIT, POMEGRANATE, STONE FRUIT AND NON-BEARING FRUIT TREES Do not apply more than 12 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a single application. Do not apply more than 24 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a 12 month period, except Bushberries; for Bushberries do not apply more than 12 oz. of VARSITY per acre during a 12 month period. Do not make a sequential application within 30 days of the first application, except nut trees, do not make a sequential application within 60 days of the first application. Use a maximum VARSITY rate of 6 oz./a per application on any soil that has a sand plus gravel content over 80% if bushes, trees or vines are less than 3 years of age. (Two applications of 6 oz./a in a 12 month period can still be made as long as there have been 60 days between applications). Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or other desirable vegetation. Do not apply within 300 yards of non-dormant pears. Raise mower height during all mowing to reduce dust. Dust created by mowing can drift onto desirable vegetation resulting in injury. Do not apply to powdery soils or soils that are susceptible to wind displacement unless irrigation can be applied immediately after application. Do not mow treated areas between bud break and final harvest. Dust created by mowing may drift onto desirable vegetation resulting in injury. Follow the most restrictive label limitations and precautions of the tank mix product(s) being used. Avoid direct or indirect spray contact to foliage and green bark (non-barked trunk and non-barked vines with the exception of undesirable suckers). 49

50 For bushberries, grape, nut trees (including pistachio), olive, pomegranate and non-bearing fruit trees, VARSITY must be applied as a uniform broadcast application to the orchard or vineyard floor or as a uniform band directed at the base of the bush, trunk or vine. For pome fruit and stone fruit, VARSITY can only be applied as a uniform band directed at the base of the trunk prior to pink bud in apple and bud break in stone fruit and pear. The preferred application timing for VARSITY is in the fall to maximize the potential for rainfall to activate and set the herbicide. Do not apply over the top of crop or allow spray to come in contact with crop as a result of application or drift. Preemergence Application Apply 6 to 12 oz. (0.188 to 0.38 Ib. ai/a) of VARSITY per broadcast acre as a preemergence application. Make preemergence (to weed emergence) applications of VARSITY to a weed-free soil surface. Preemergence applications of VARSITY must be completed prior to weed emergence. Moisture is necessary to activate VARSITY on soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following application of VARSITY may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, VARSITY will control susceptible germinating weeds. Postemergence Application Apply 6 to 12 oz (0.188 to 0.38 Ib ai/a) of VARSITY per broadcast acre plus an adjuvant (0.25% v/v non-ionic surfactant or 1 qt/a crop oil concentrate). The addition of an adjuvant enhances VARSITY activity on emerged weeds. Thorough spray coverage is necessary to maximize the postemergence activity of VARSITY. Refer to Table 10 for weeds controlled by the residual activity of VVARSITY. Tank mix VARSITY with a labeled burndown herbicide for control of the emerged weeds listed in Table 13. Refer to tank mix partner s label for additional weed species and increased weed heights claimed. Refer to tank mix partner s label for additional restrictions, including minimum carrier volume and crops in which tank mix partner may be used. Burndown tank mix partners include glyphosate, paraquat, 2,4-D and RELY. Do not tank mix with glyphosate or 2,4- D containing products during the period after bloom through final harvest to ensure crop safety from drift. Residual weed control will be reduced if vegetation prevents the VARSITY from reaching the soil surface. If vegetation is heavy use a burndown herbicide with VARSITY and make a sequential VARSITY application prior to the emergence of new weeds. Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure To ensure thorough coverage in burndown applications, use a minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution per acre. Use higher gallonage if dense vegetation or heavy crop residue is present. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer s gallonage and pressure specifications. Banded Application Rates listed in Table 13 refer to a broadcast application covering the entire acre. When making a banded application, the rate must be reduced according to the following formula: Band Width in inches Amount Needed per Acre for Banded Application = X Rate per Broadcast Acre Row Width in inches USE DIRECTIONS FOR BUSHBERRIES Bushberries: Aronia Berry, Black Currant, Blueberry (Highbush, Rabbit-eye and Lowbush), Buffalo Currant, Chilean Guava, Cranberry (Highbush), Elderberry, European Barberry, Gooseberry, Honeysuckle (edible), Huckleberry, Jostaberry, Juneberry, Lingonberry, Native Currant, Red Currant, Salal and Sea Buckthorn Do not use in the states of Idaho, Oregon or Washington except west of the Cascade Mountains in the following counties: Oregon: Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Umatilla, Yamhill and Washington Washington: Benton, Clallam, Clark, Cowlitz, Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, King, Jefferson, Kitsap, Lewis, Pacific, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, Wahkiakum, Walla Walla and Whatcom Do not apply to Bushberries established less than 2 years unless they are protected from spray contact by nonporous wrap, grow tubes or waxed containers. Do not apply within 7 days of harvest. USE DIRECTIONS FOR GRAPES Do not apply within 60 days of harvest. Do not apply to grapes established less than 2 years unless they are trellised at least 3 ft. from the soil surface or are protected from spray contact by nonporous wrap, grow tubes or waxed containers. Do not apply to grapes that are not trellised or staked unless they are free standing. Avoid direct or indirect spray contact to foliage and green bark (non-barked vines, with the exception of undesirable suckers). New plantings of own-rooted varieties, such as Concord, must be planted so that all roots are a minimum 8 inches below the soil surface to be treated. In some situations, this may require hilling soil around newly planted vines so that the settled depth of the hill will be 4 to 5 inches above the vineyard floor. 50

51 Juice, Raisin and Wine Grapes Do not apply during the period after bud break through final harvest, unless using shielded application equipment and applicator can ensure spray drift will not come in contact with crop fruit or foliage. Shielded applications during this time period must not be made with glyphosate or products containing glyphosate.

Repeated applications will be needed to control regrowth. 2 For acceptable control, cutleaf evening primrose must be 12 inches or less and in the rosette stage. Add crop oil concentrate, at 1 pt./a, or non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v, to glyphosate tank mixes for cutleaf evening primrose control, including glyphosate formulations that contain a built-in adjuvant system. ADDITIONAL RESIDUAL WEED CONTROL VARSITY maybe tank mixed with oryzalin (SURFLAN ), simazine or diuron for additional residual weed control. Always read and follow label use directions for all products being used. USE DIRECTIONS ON ALMOND AND STONE FRUIT IN A DEFINED AREA OF MERCED, SAN JAQUIN AND STANISLAUS COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA The use of VARSITY in soils common in parts of Merced, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties in California is known to have resulted in injury to almonds under drought stress conditions. These soils are characterized by having been cut or filled, high sand content, low clay content and shallow profiles. The Defined Area can be seen on the Map or by the description that follows: Intersection of Highway 4 and Escalon-Bellota Road at Farmington in San Joaquin County; Directly South on Escalon-Bellota to the Santa Fe Avenue and railroad tracks at Escalon Southeast on Santa Fe Avenue down to the Merced River; East following the Merced River to the Merced/Mariposa County line; Northwest following the Merced County line through the intersection of Merced and Stanislaus County line following the Stanislaus/Tuolumne County and Calaveras County line to Highway 4; West on Highway 4 back to the Farmington intersection of Escalon - Bellota Road. DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO MAINTAIN BARE GROUND ON NON-CROP AREAS OF FARMS, ORCHARDS AND VINEYARDS Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or other desirable vegetation. Do not apply to ditch banks. VARSITY, when used as directed, can be used on farms, orchards and vineyards for non-selective vegetation control to maintain bare ground on non-crop areas that must be kept weed free. Follow all applicable directions as outlined above under USE INFORMATION. VARSITY offers residual and postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf and grass weeds as well as an additional mode of action to assist in the control of ALS (acetolactate synthase) resistant weeds. VARSITY can be tank mixed with the herbicides listed in Table 14 for increased residual or postemergence control. The length of residual control is dependent on the rate applied as well as on rainfall and temperature conditions. Length of residual control will decrease as temperature and precipitation increase. VARSITY rates of 6 to 12 oz./a are required to provide residual control of the weeds listed in Table
